When hurricane Maria made landfall in Puerto Rico, an established community of more than 20 families was cut off from the world for several days. The deadly storm washed away the concrete bridge that connected the community with the rest of the town, leaving these families in complete isolation. Since then, its residents have attached ladders to the remains of the bridge, set up a zip line that delivers necessities via a beat-up shopping cart. The resilience of the community has inspired the devastated island.
